Hi, I'm looking to recruit 1 or 2 players for Rise of the Runelords starting in Book 2.
It would be level 5 characters starting with 10,500 gp worth of equipment. 20 point buy for ability scores with most of the official Paizo races available.
Summoners and Occult classes need not apply.
Tentative dot.
What are the other players playing? Is the alignment more goody goody, or selfish based?
Traits?
Half HD+1 as per normal?
Ray you're my favourite GM can I play with you again?
What do you have already for players in the interest of not stepping on other toes?
I'd wouldn't mind playing this, though I am currently running it. If you are OK with that, I will submit.
I always play adventures I am familiar with on the side of clueless character, making few suggestions.
I should have also specified "No evil alignments." Sorry about that. The other three players are:
• Bard with single dip in Cleric (Desna)
• Gunslinger
• Cavalier / Inquisitor
And I don't mind if you've DMed ROTRL before. Unless it becomes a problem, I'll trust folks not to abuse their fore-knowledge.
And, yes, half HD+1 at higher levels.
Also one free campaign trait along with the standard two. I'll be using the Anniversary Edition.
Ok, I'll have to figure out what flavor of melee martial to make. It looks to me like you could use that (and probably an arcane caster, but I'm not the biggest fan of those, though I do have one orphaned from another game I could set back to 5th I suppose).
Hrmmm... what are your views on 3pp? Specifically, curious about Dreamscarred Press (though split in interest between Psionics, Path of War, and Akashic Mysteries content), I'd have to say, I'm most interested in playing a character with a large toolbox, so to speak, albeit not a full-progression caster or manifester. Something like a Pathwalker Psychic Warrior, or perhaps a Vizier or Guru, probably focused on Crafting, skills, and some bare combat proficiency on a Vizier, nonlethal combat for a guru, and mobile/versatile melee for Pathwalker.
If, as is much more likely the case, 3pp is not remotely on the table, I can certainly figure out something for consideration. I've played all of three sessions or so in thr middle of book one, years ago.
Ignore the statistics in this profile; they've nothing to do with any of the ideas I've got, but will be the profile I'm going to be submitting, down the road. If you're willing to consider 3pp, and don't have access to things, I can, of course, get you what information you need.
I would prefer not to use 3PP. While, I am occasionally willing to make exceptions I sort of need to really trust the player first.
seems like we need a dedicated front line member, I think I'll whip up a ranger or something similar
I'll probably go with a dwarf fighter. Very tanky dwarf fighter of course.
Will there be downtime for crafting or do you like crafting in the first place (unlikely I can fit the crafting feat in before this level anyway).
I'm okay with crafting. But if you take the feat, then you should commit to it thematically. I usually force downtime in adventures to allow for things like crafting.
He would be a weaponsmith dwarf using a hammer as his main weapon. I do tend to go all in.
Also had a similar idea as Drbuzzard, but instead go with the forge master cleric archetype for dwarves. Not sure yet.
I am putting together a Magus.
Are ABP or Background Skills in play? I assume not but figure it's worth asking!
How about variant multiclassing? I'm thinking some sort of channeling Aasimar or human paladin or cleric, maybe with hospitalier, combined with Order of the Star Cavalier, or maybe some other kind of divinely inspired VMC. Perhaps, even, Life Oracle, and focus on being an in-your-face bruiser-y healer. Holy vindicator comes to mind, now that I think about it...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Oh man... I'm not applying but I totally think DrB, Liz-wiz, and Yoricks should make three dwarven brothers (or two dwarves and an adopted brother) who are a fighter with the master crafter feat, a forge master cleric, and a soul forger magus! They set out to become great smith's and open their own shop and then quite unintentionally get swept up in the events of the AP...
sounds like quite the story. It was that, or duel-wield fighter, focused more on finesse than brute force. (a dex based fighter without dex to damage, *Gasp*)

Here is my rough draft for his crunch, still have some things to finish and may change a bit here or there, but this is the main jist of it. I have an idea of how I want him to be personality wise, but I am working on making a good mesh with the background of the AP.... How likely would it be to be a "hero" of sandpoint or something of that nature?
hm... dotting for interest. Perhaps a slayer, though not sure what race yet.
This is a continuation of a previous ROTRL game that died right before finishing book 1. Myself and another player will be the only other returning heroes of Sandpoint. The rest are new recruits. This takes place 1 year after the events of the Swallowtail festival.
I'll be playing and GMing.
The group currently has one dedicated front liner. From a party balance perspective a dedicated Arcane caster would prolly be ideal...
Very interested in playing Runelords with this character... Currently is statted out with rolled stats for another submission (will know by Friday) but I would happily rework him to 20 pt buy and level 5.
Human exploiter wizard.
OK, got my submission together.
Haarold is a smith and member of the local militia from the Janderhoff Sky Citadel in Varisia. Born to a clan of dwarven smiths, he's been following along with the family business, specializing in weapon smithing (though he dabbles a bit with armor to back up his father (could be brother or whatever if someone else makes another smith). As with all other dwarves in Janderhoff, he was trained to fight with the militia that keeps the citadel safe, and since the Mindspin Mountains have plenty of giants around who would love to break in and take all their finely crafted items, he has seen no shortage of action.
Of late the giants appear to have become more active, and odd portents have begun to appear. These have gotten the clergy of Torag somewhat worked up, and they have decided to send an emissary to Magnimar to see if the rulers there know anything (as they tend to be the wisest sages around). As Haarold's family does periodic trade expeditions to Magnimar to sell their wares, Haarold was appointed the emissary, and has travelled to Magnimar. He generally stops in Sandpoint along the way as it is a convenient rest point, and he is there right now.

Here is an arcane caster submission:
Cole has been a student of Thassilonian history in Magnimar for the last several years, pouring through old books and dusty maps in the local libraries. He spent a small fortune on language tutors to school him in the ancient Thassilonian language.
In addition to being an amateur historian, Cole is a wizard of a non-traditional variety. He has worked to combine his spellcasting with the new gunpowder technology that is filtering through the land. When he isn’t at the library with his nose in a book, he can be found in the workshop, tinkering with alchemy, firearms, or gunpowder innovations.

Narah's parents were killed in a raid on a town that doesn't exist in Varisia anymore. She was found by
a group of Dwarves who managed to show up just in time to save the 3 lone survivors from the wreckage of the village.
All the children were taken to the Dwarves underground cave complex in the Hills of Varisia. Growing up
with Dwarven parents isn't easy at the best of times, it is especially hard when your taller than the rest
and cannot see in total darkness.
Narah discovered her latent magical powers when out with her father one day, a cave in happened, Narah was able to use her magics to keep herself and her father alive until rescue came. After this she began to train and exercise her powers, she learned to harness the power of the rock into her magic. Using it as a steadfast sorce for keeping her self grounded and the unrelenting force that could be attained to empower her spells.
Dot. I will have a character tomorrow. Been looking for runelords for a while.

Kain has been updated with almost complete crunch, I want to wait to select my teamwork feat and order after talking to the other players if I am selected. Also, my preferred positions are posted in the alias.
Oops apologies, ignore my last post.
Updated
Like Aroden, I'm trying to get into another Runelords campaign, but this one intrigues me a bit more I think as I've been through the early Runelords AP already.
So I present you with Serolt. I am very happy to rebuild him to fifth level, but you can see his background (more important I think) and where he's heading clearly enough I think. His cat helps fill a front-line combat role, his bow helps do some damage, and of course he has a few spells to boot for buffing, control, and just a little healing. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
I’ve DMed and Played on these boards for a few years now and been in the D&D realm for a few decades. I’ve always been an active and supportive poster in every game. Please feel free to peruse my aliases and campaigns.
If selected, I can also help with treasure tracking if you like. I have a useful spreadsheet that I use in campaigns I'm in to help track that sort of thing so you don’t have to. You should be able to see a version of it here (link).

Thyrion was born the son of a noble by name of Valdir Rydell. However He never took to the courtly nor arcane ways like his brothers did. He had always been the black sheep of the family. Thyrion spent far more time running around the streets and woods near the city than he did learning the things his father sought to teach him. Often to the ire of his father, who on many occasion paid for a tutor for the lad. Only to have one of two things happen, the tutor would eventually quit, unable to put of with Thyrions antics, or Thryion would simply always manage to disappear during the lessons because they were boring. Eventually, his father gave in and in an attempt to direct the Lads more than ample energy hired a well known swordsman to teach the boy. This worked and Thyrion took to the blade faster than any of his 3 brothers had taken to the arcane ways, and even faster than his 2 sisters had to the courtesan ways. The next 7 years saw Thyrion hone his abilites, and, eventually his leaving the family home to become a wandering blade like his Master had been before. He took all sorts of dangerous jobs involving strange beasts lurking in the shadows of villages, or more mundane, but nevertheless dangerous jobs to get rid of local bandits bothering towns. Eventually his travels lead him to sandpoint, where he heard of a band of"heroes" working in the area. Intrigued, and with no good leads on any dangerous beasts he decided to try and track them down.
Thyrion is a happy go lucky type. He enjoys the thrill of battle more than the hunt, even more so when his abilities are tested to their limits. As he says, he could go home and live the luxurious life of a noble, and be bored to the end of his days. Or, he could roam the lands, and ever enjoy the exhilaration of combat, while doing some good to boot. He is a smart man, however he prefers to tackle things head on when possible, not keen on thinking as much as doing. However, he has taken to enjoy a good debate and often will actively seek to participate in any debate about a matter he has an opinion on. Some might call his lifestyle crazy, but to Thyrion, its the best- the only, way to truly live. To him, a fight is nothing but fun, death, something that may one day come, but to him that makes life even more exhilarating. The knowledge that any one day might be his last, drives him to enjoy each day to his best ability. Despite all this however, He tends to be shy around women, even though they often enjoy hearing his tales.
Here is an updated version of my submission. He still has a few things left to do, like finish his purchases, but other than that he is pretty much done.
OK, I went ahead and updated my alias for this campaign. I think I followed all the rules, but if there's anything 'off' please let me know and I'll fix it up right away. Thanks!
Oh, when will you be making your decision?
I had realized i wasn't quite set on any of the ideas I'd already had, came at it from a fresh player's perspective for the AP and settled on a gnomish Iroran paladin, with the faith-focused campaign trait (I can't remember the name off the top of my head), but I just can't seem to come up with a reasonable way to tie myself in with current party. I'll still make up a post tomorrow, with crunch, and consider fluff avenues, but I'm not entirely sure, at this point.

Ithink I may swap to a cleric, it seems a dedicated healer/buffer/protector could be used, and I have long wanted to try out my "pacifist" cleric, who mainly focuses on disarming the enemy, healing allies, and or buffing them should healing not be needed. Pretty utility spell wise after 1st level spells, with a smattering of damage dealing ones. Also heavy on protecting those important party members with shield other up most of the fights.
I had realized i wasn't quite set on any of the ideas I'd already had, came at it from a fresh player's perspective for the AP and settled on a gnomish Iroran paladin, with the faith-focused campaign trait (I can't remember the name off the top of my head), but I just can't seem to come up with a reasonable way to tie myself in with current party.

Any good reason for being in Sandpoint and helping out in a murder investigation should prolly be good enough for starters. This prolly works better for those of good alignments or with ties to some of the major NPCs.
That's fair enough. Hopefully, I'll be home in time to get something up before selections are made. I slept in later than I expected, and am working all day.
Here's my submission. The fluff is of course open to alterations if it steps on the canon too much. I'll move it over to an Alias if selected.
I, uh... I changed my mind again.That said, this is my final idea, and my actual submission. Sorry for the flip-flopping, but when I saw the feat
You know how to balance a polearm perfectly, striking with artful, yet deadly precision.
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (glaive), must be a worshiper of Shelyn.
Benefit: You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a glaive sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon. When wielding a glaive, you can treat it as a one-handed piercing or slashing melee weapon and as if you were not making attacks with your off-hand for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon (such as a duelist’s or swashbuckler’s precise strike).
As a move action, you can shorten your grip on the glaive, treating it as though it lacked the reach weapon property. You can adjust your grip to grant the weapon the reach property as a move action.
Careful there Iriesys, might be a DM call as you say. There's a current thread (link) very much arguing whether what you want to do is in fact legal. I tend to think it is, but it is up in the air based on the wording.
If it is legal, it's very, very cool... :)
I hadn't even considered that it might be up in the air. To me, "treat x as y" is pretty clear, and since you can wield one-handed weapons in one hand, I assumed it allowed you to do so. I agree, however, that it's definitely a DM call there, I just don't see the angle that they apparently see.
Honestly I wouldn't have a problem with it if it were my game. It's not anything worse than a whip magus, and the whip magus threatens more space. Besides, it sounds awesome as hell.
Yeah. I'd allow it in my games too, because it does sound awesome and doesn't feel unbalanced. I like the graphic in my head too! :D
Thanks for all the interest and the submissions. I appreciate it. Unfortunately I only have room for two. So without further ado, the following players are invited:
• Serolt (Euan)
• Amaya (YoricksRequiem)
Ah well. I realized that, between Yorick and I, he certainly had a much stronger submission for the same general role I'd intended.
Good luck folks. Very sad to not be selected but i wish you well.
Some day I will get to run Runelords
